“There’s a scene where Molly Shannon comes in and has to curse all the actors in the scene out,” Short explained. “She’s drunk. And in the final cut, which I’ve seen, you’re also laughing.”
Gomez continued: “I’m so sorry. I don’t even know to our editors if there’s a good take, because every take I would break. She was [doing improv] and just giving it her all and it was just perfect every time. It was perfect.”
“Those are the greatest moments when we get to work with those people,” said Short.

“Only Murders in the Building” returns for Season 4 on August 27 — and Shannon, 59, is one of the new cast members.
According to Variety , the “SNL” alum will play a high powered Los Angeles businesswoman who finds herself drawn into the world of the investigation in New York.
The other Season 4 additions include Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, Melissa McCarthy, Kumail Nanjiani and Zach Galifianakis.
The Emmy Award-winning series stars Gomez (as Mabel Mora), Short (as Oliver Putnam) and Steve Martin (as Charles Haden-Savage) as an unexpected trio who live in the same building in New York City and create a podcast together to solve murders.
Season 4 will see the Arconia 3 head to Los Angeles.
Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich told Deadline earlier this year, “I’m very excited to see Steve, Martin and Selena take a little break from the apartment building and come to Los Angeles. So in the same way that John Hoffman used the canvas of Broadway to tell what I think was one of the most unique seasons you’ve ever seen, the same unique ‘Only Murders’ will be applied to Los Angeles, which I’m really excited about.”
Gomez also gushed over getting to work with Streep on “JKL!”
“As an actress you can only dream to work with someone as great as her,” she said about her co-star. “But she would just dally around as if she was just a part of our family. She would sing songs barefoot. And talk to everyone and…that was elegant to me. That was true class.”
